In an interview with NBC News’s “Meet The Press”, broadcast on Sunday, May 4, the American president said that he is not “looking” for a third term in the White House.
“So many people want me to do (a third term), but I don’t know if it’s constitutional,” he said.
Donald Trump said on Sunday that he did not know if he should respect the American Constitution. “I do not know,” replied the American president, questioned on NBC to find out if he thought he should respect the constitution of the United States.
Asked to find out if the foreigners present on American soil should benefit from regular legal proceedings, as provided for in the Constitution, the republican billionaire also said: “I am not a lawyer. I do not know.”
Donald Trump made the fight against irregular immigration an absolute priority, speaking of “invasion” by “criminals from abroad” and staging police operations.

But several of his decisions were blocked by judges. Federal courts and courts of appeal as well as the Supreme Court have already temporarily blocked the use of a law of 1798 on “foreign enemies”, previously used exclusively in wartime and reused by the Trump administration, on the grounds that the expelled persons should be able to assert their rights.
These judicial decisions have aroused the fury of the Republican, which believes that “it is impossible that there are trials for millions and millions of” immigrants.
The president, who has multiplied the allusions on the hypothesis of a third term since his return to the White House in January, also seemed to reject this possibility – prohibited by the Constitution.
“This is not what I’m trying to do,” he said on Sunday.
“I want to spend four very good years and give way to someone else, ideally a great republican,” added Donald Trump, who cited his vice-president JD Vance and his secretary of state Marco Rubio as potential successors.
